7 on 7s are a joke. Anyone that would take the results of a team and try to predict what succes
they will have for the season is delusional

I agree to some extent. I dont look at it as winning a 7 on 7 tournament, will transpose itself into having a championship season. I do believe though, that it helps build confidence among the QBs and DBs. Especially when they are young or inexperienced players. But you cant base a seasons prediction based on a 7 on 7 tournament. But, if you return an entire offensive line, backfield, defensive front 7 from a state semifinal team and then your QB and skill guys are in synch with each other and your DBs are covering well (even though there is no rush, or rungame to account for, then it does lend itself to a promising year. But no, you cant predict seasons success on a passing scrimmage. Too many other variables.

I agree with the statement as well about special teams needing to develop. Especially here at Raceland. Outside of Pettery and then Jacob Sparks, we have never had a consistent kicking game. Messer provided stability on extra points last year and Preston did a few years back, but kick offs have been a manor issue, even in the better Raceland teams. I cant stand seeing us kicking it out of bounds and giving the other team the ball at the 35, or when we do kick it off the ball goes 25 yards and the team returns it to the 40. Luckily, we have had good defense and offenses that can put drives together and control the ball and TOS. nust wish we could develop our special teams.
